Skyline Chassis/underbody brace

i have searched the web and all i can find is chassis braces for gay hatch backs and beemers. how come they dont have any for skylines and other imports as useful as it probably will be on drift/drag/circuit applications.

i know ive read a chassis brace instalation on an r33 in an issue of HPI (might write this on their forums) before.

so yeah am i not looking enough or is it called something different? ive searched these forums too under 'chassis brace' and 'underbody brace' but none are successful.

does anybody know if there is such things as skyline underbody/chassis braces and will it be equivalent to having a roll cage feeling?

cheers.

look up kts racing I think they make underbody braces around the gearbox, in the boot etc

EDIT: go to secretdrift.com.au, jump in the forum and look for a sponsor "import auto parts", they have a thread in there called bracing kits, some good stuff in there.

Steve, my old man and myself had to do some pretty major structural re-engineering of my R32 GTR pre-road registration (long story)... essentially the inner chassis rails were re-inforced, doorsills were replaced with steel tube, all welded up solid as a brick shit house. There is absolutely 0 flex in the body now and it handles fantastically.

My GTR is going to be up on his hoist tomorrow if you wanted to swing by and check it out. I'll be there from about 9am tomorrow morning.

I'm doing rear tie-rod ends, so I don't expect it to take too long; I'll probably be out of there by mid-day.

Cheers!

-Shaun

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
